[Albion] Team for Boro?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes, indeed Stephens wants in, so a midfield of Stephens-Kayal.


If practicing 3-5-2 then :


Krul

Schelotto
Goldson
Hunemeier
Dunk
Suttner


Knockaert
Stephens
Kayal

Hemed
Baldock



If 442 :

Krul

Bruno
Goldson
Hunemeier
Bong

Knockaert
Stephens
Kayal
Skalak

Hemed
Baldock

One of Southampton and West Ham is 'must win' and the other of them is 'must not lose'.

Middlesbrough is simply 'nice to win'.

Must Not Draw.

Must Not Draw.

If it gets to added on time and still a draw I hope one of our players scores an own goal. I really dont care about this game and will be happy to lose.to concentrate on the league.

I wonder what the people who are travelling a fair distance think

The wisdom of BensGrandad.....

Dropping players for FA Cup games does not guarantee better results in the following games, some teams can nose dive after a humiliating defeat.

I say play a strong team, and build momentum, and who is in that team, That is for CH to decide I trust the man 100%

We have got used to losing, so absolutely can't be defeated in this game. .

We've actually only lost three times in our last 8 games.

OK agreed, I shall rephrase, we have forgotten what its like to win.

 

[Hyperion]

I think we should definitely try that Gyokeres out. Even if it’s 25 mins. These are the games to push the players with potential forward in real game scenario’s as well as Molumby, Alzate, Hutchinson, Tilley & Bjordal

WTF ! seriously BG... I know we may put out a side with a lot of changes and it wouldn't be the end of the world if we went out, but you cant actually want us to lose a game....

These games are still important to squad players in staying sharp etc.

 

[OSRGull]

I think Hughton will go with

Krul

Bruno
Hunemeier
Goldson
Bong

Knockaert
Kayal
Stephens
Skalak

Baldock
Hemed

 

[Dlwjj2]

Stephens, dunk and duffy definately left at home

 

[Sorrel]

I hope the team really go for it: winning a match will do well for everyone's morale at the moment.

Wouldnt you rather we concentrated on staying in this league rather than do 1983 all over again, although the chances of that are very remote, as the top teams put out stronger teams as they near the final and we know what that means to us but the relegation would still be on.

Possibly Rosenior for Bruno

Not in the U23 squad tonight so definite possibility.

Almost sounds as though he has a wad on Bro

PS Bookies have them as favourites

Gyokeres certainly made an impact last week, maybe he can be our saviour in the 2nd half of the season, maybe we’ve discovered future star?

I never bet especially on football but what I do want is a fully fit raring to go at Southampton from the first whistle first team squad.

Similar team that played against Palace is what I would expect

 

[Motogull]

Put out a strong team and go for the 3 points.
